OK So someone suggested I make a diary about this even though I don't have much to say about it.
So, it seems either Hillary's conscience is getting to her or they realize their tactics are severely backfiring.
In any case here is what she said today at a rally:
Clinton was asked by a questioner in the audience here what she would tell frustrated Democrats who might consider voting for McCain in the general election out of spite.
"Please think through this decision," Clinton said, laughing and emphasizing the word "please."
"It is not a wise decision for yourself or your country."
The crowd applauded loudly.
And then:
"First of all, every time you have a vigorous contest like we are having in this primary election people get intense," she continued. "You know, Sen. Obama has intense support. I have intense support."
Clinton stressed that there are "significant" differences between her and Obama, but said "those differences pale to the differences between us and Sen. McCain."
"I intend to do everything I can to make sure we have a unified Democratic party," she said. "When this contest is over and we have a nominee, we’re going to close ranks, we’re going to be united."

I think it is quite late to start doing that after saying things like "The nominee would not be legitimate without Fl and ML being counted" or "Obama is not ready to be CiC" but for the record, and for the sake of being gracious, the gesture is much appreciated and if this is the tone she sticks to for the next six weeks, I will stop calling on her to give up already.
Your thoughts ?
